Patent GB-190517240-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Machines for the Preparation of Surgical Bandages
Inventor: THOMAS WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-08-25
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 17,240. Thomas, W. Aug. 25. Bandages.-Relates to machines for infiltrating or covering bandages with plaster of paris or other substances, and for rolling and coiling the bandages. The bandage f, guided by a partition &c. g, passes through a distributor b containing the powdered plaster of paris &c., which is spread by the upper edge of an adjustable slit or aperture e on to the fabric, and is pressed therein by rollers c or by a single roller and a stationary support. The fabric is wound on a drum consisting, preferably, of two disks or flanges d<1> adjustably mounted on a spindle d<2>, and of a number of steel or other wire supports d<3>surrounding the spindle. These supports are attached to ore of the disks, and are passed through apertures in the other. The bandages can thus be readily removed on detaching one of the disks, and can be easily saturated with water by immersion therein. The rollers c and the drum are connected by helt gearing or gear-wheels, to give loose winding, and are driven by a handle applied to one of their spindles. Provision for the ready detachment of the parts of the machine is made. The supports of the drum and roller spindles are made with open bearing-apertures, and the spindles are secured therein by split cotters. The lower infiltrating-roller may be mounted on adjustable supports. The supporting - bed is preferably trough-shaped, to serve as a receptacle for fallen material.

Granted: 1907-07-30
Abstract: 14,935. Allgremeine Elektricitõts-Ges. June 30,1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Armatures ; commutators; sparking, preventing.-To distribute the field more uniformly over the air-gap in machines of the character described in Specifications No. 23,288, A.D. 1902, and No. 7293, A.D. 1 9 0 3, and thereby prevent sparking, the " exciter" brushes y', y<1>, Fig. 6, are arranged on chords, other than the diameter, perpendicular to the short-circuit axis x, x, so that part of the ampere-turns does not contribute to the field excitation. The same result is obtained by providing the rotor with a chord or shortened. pitch winding, such as that described by Mordey for continuous-current machines. Both machines may be employed in conjunction, or in combination with means for modifying the form of the field by altering the air-gap, e.g. by omitting the stator slots in the neighbourhood of the " exciter " brushes. One set of brushes y<1>, y<1> may be employed. Specification No. 26,094, A.D. 1905, is also referred to.

The trip-lever e is thereby depressed so that the locking - lever d rides up the curved surface z and further depresses the trip-lever e, till, by a pin, it depresses the other trip lever e<1> from the other locking-lever d<1>. Coin-slit closing-devices.-When the maximum number of coins has been inserted, the pin k turns the lever s so that its arm s<2> blocks the coin shoot. Coin action.-The coin mechanism is the same as that described in Specification No. 1751, A.D. 1906.

Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 10,802. Wale's, Ltd., and Warren, W. A. May 9. Bedsteads and cots.-A folding bedstead or cot has each end pillar formed in two parts a, a<1> which meet end to end and are hinged to the ends of the side bars b so that the upper part of each pillar may fold over the side rails f, while the lower part folds under ; for this purpose, the upper parts are hinged to L- shaped brackets d<1> on the side bars. When set up, each pillar is kept straight by a metal flange e on one part, the flange also serving to conceal the joint between the two parts. Jointed stays k are fixed between the lower parts and the side bars, and the upper parts may be supported in a similar way or by pins or screws engaging the brackets. The lower bars of the side rails are carried at each end in a ring-shaped flange on a pivoted arm g, which turns on a pin g' passing through a socket in the L-shaped bracket. When raised, the side rails are fixed to the upper ends of the pillars by screw pins h. When the side rails are omitted, the L-shaped brackets are dispensed with, both parts of each pillar being hinged directly to a side bar ; or the side bar may carry pairs of plates between which the upper and lower parts are pivoted, the ends of the two parts being shaped to fit into each other.

Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 25,218. Astfalck, W. Nov. 13. Hydraulic presses; machines and apparatus.-In order to avoid opening the high and low pressure conduits simultaneously in valve mechanism for hydraulic presses &c., the power cylinder a is connected to the valve cylinder b which contains a piston d compensated by the piston v. A cylinder g contains a piston f, operated by water pressure through the inlet i and carrying a supply of highpressure water through the passages h, k, e into the piston d in which one end slides. The pistons are adapted to slide relatively through a limited space and are normally kept apart by the high-pressure water. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the lowpressure water from the pipe C flows into the power cylinder a. High-pressure water is then allowed to enter through the tube i, thus forcing the pistons d, f as a whole to the left till the lowpressure water is cut off and the ducts o are open to the conduit x. The piston d is then against its stop, and the piston f alone moves until, in the position shown in Fig. 3, the high-pressure water enters the cylinder a through ducts n, r, o, x. On connecting the pipe i to the exhaust, the motions are reversed. In a modification, the piston v is connected to the piston f.

Granted: 1908-11-12
Abstract: 2197. Moore, A. S. Jan. 31. Gaseliers and oil-lamp pendants.-Electric and other lamps of the kind that are supported by cords, wires, cables, chains, &c., which may also serve as electric conductors, in such a manner that the angle and height of the lamp and its reflector or shade may be readily adjusted, are formed with a series of pulley-blocks, around which passes an endless cord adapted to support the counterweight and in some cases the lamp also. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the lamp and shade are supported by three cords h, each of which passes over a pulley b fixed to the ceiling and around a pulley a, and is fixed to a central part e arranged between the pulleys b. The pulleys a each form one member of a block a, c, and the pulleys c support a counterweight g by means of an endless cord j, which is passed alternately over the pulleys d, c. When the angle of the lamp shade is to be varied, one of the cords h is raised, whereupon the corresponding pulley-block falls, the other pulley-blocks rising and permitting the other cords h to fall. In a modified form, Fig. 5, the cords h pass around the pulleys a, b and thence to the ceiling. The pulleys b are on the counterweight g, and the pulleys care supported by an endless cord passing over fixed pulleys d. More than three cords may be used.

Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 3111. Dargue, A. W. Feb. 12. Parallel rulers.-Relates to parallel rulers particularly applicable for drawing section-lines or for delineating screw-threads. A stock 1 is provided with end brackets 3, 3<1> in which is mounted a rod 4 serving as a guide for a plate 12, to whicu a blade 13 is adjustably secured. A rack 6 is mounted free to slide in the brackets 3, 3<1>, its longitudinal movement under the control of a spring 9 being limited by a head 8. A pawl 18 pivoted to a bracket 12<2> on the piece 12 is pressed against the rack by a spring 19. By alternately pressing in and releasing the head 8, a step-by-step movement is imparted to the blade 13. Finer spacing may be obtained by swivelling the blade 13 about its pivot and locking it in its new position by means of a washer 14 and screw 16. The amount of feed may also be reduced by placing a ribbed head 21 across, instead of into engagement with a groove 23 in the bracket 3<1>.
